What to Wear on a Humid Ride?

[Norse]

I have a sleeveless Craft wicking underlayer that I absolute will not ride without in the spring summer and fall here in hot and humid Houston. Even when I am not sweating, it provides a layer between me and the slimy feeling jersey fabric. In this case, two layers are definitely better than one. I also have arm coolers that not only keep me cool by wicking away the sweat, but also protect my arms from sun heat.

In the late fall, winter and early spring, I will wear either the craft as an underlayer or if its a bit colder, I have a wool underlayer that I love.

I totally agree about the anti-slime factor that a wicking base layer helps to provide. I have not tried the arm coolers but did get a pair for DP for her birthday as she commutes to work by bike and doesn't always like to coat on the suntan lotion - she absolutely loves them and sings their praises.
